1. Action Plan

1. The National Dementia Declaration lists seven outcomes that the DAA are seeking to achieve for people with dementia and their carers. How would you describe your organisation’s role in delivering better outcomes for people with dementia and their carers?

We will share our skills and knowledge about the needs of people with dementia and their carers living in Luton by:

Reporting on trends and case studies about the needs of all people with dementia

We will broadcast the voices of minorities including LGBT people living with dementia

We will provide a range of caring, supportive services to help people live independently with choice and dignity

We will work with commissioners and funders to promote understanding of the needs of those living with dementia and their carers

We will train all our staff and volunteers to be aware of the processes of dementia and how to offer support to people on the journey

We will support people through transitions – moving to care, end of life

2. What are the challenges to delivering these outcomes from the perspective of your organisation?
